I'm glad to know i died cause shaf shot me and it wasn't the auto defense. to be honest i think the auto defense is a bunk rule.

Yeah, he shot at you. We didn't have the auto D in there.

I was shocked when he went after you. I thought for sure it was a slappy vote by him just to ensure an extra day. When he got you, it was a gutsy chance that paid off.

We tried to put the people that didn't vote yet at the bottom of the votes about half way through, thinking that maybe if everyone's name was out there at all times, more people would participate and vote. And it seemed like participation as greater when it came to voted.

Didn't know if that was the reason though or not. Was that something where when you were reading through and saw you were like 1 or 2 people that didn't vote, did that entice you to vote.

IMO, the participation, both voting/discussion and RP wise was fairly quick and good.

NAN, I think that did the work of people for them in trying to figure out who was still out there... i.e. people tend to forget people are playing sometimes, and you & beerman identifying ballots not yet cast help keep that from happening to an extent. I think it was a net positive, as then the way to stay off the radar was to cast a vote early in the cycle and then not be around...

Not saying you guys would have won, but it would have made the count 3 to 2 in the next day and you still could have had a chance.

I was shocked when slappy didn't get voted out.

I really like how you guys set this game up with The Chosen One... a cool wrinkle to the game. Wish I could have played it longer.

The thing about mid-game recruits is you have to look at people who radically change their approach mid-game.

In this case slappy was all over Troy for a few days in a row and then magically he never mentions another word about Troy the rest of the game. I know hindsight is 20/20 but this is a thing I will try to pay attention to in future games with a recruit.
